      Day 11

      Youghal

      April 13 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

      Weiter geht es nach Cobh. In Youghal machen wir einen Halt und sehen uns den 4-stöckigen Glockenturm an. Sonst gibt es hier nichts Besonderes. Viele alte Gebäude.
      In Cobh ergattern wir von den 30 Womoplätzen gerade noch den letzten Platz. Hier bleiben wir 2 Nächte. Heute noch mit dem Zug nach Cork.Read more

      Day 11

      The Waterford Greenway

      June 12, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

      Saturday ended up being a lazy day (we deserved it!) so we walked around town, had a few pints, got a few groceries and ate! Nothing special, just a chill day. Went to evening Mass at the Friary because we made plans to bike ride the next day. In our stroll, we met a local couple who recommended the Greenway by bike. So off to the bike shop, and decided on an E assist bike, recommended by the guy at shop. He told us we should have no problem doing the 46 kilometers round trip from Dungarvan to Kilmacthomas. That’s half of the trail, we definitely were not going to do 92 kilometers! Mission accomplished! Took us 4 1/2 hrs with one long stop to eat and drink. 46 kilometers! Pretty proud of ourselves. It’s was an incredible trip and a must do for anyone near any of the many Greenways in Ireland. Most were constructed 5-10 years ago, using the old railroad access to creat these bike and walking paths. This one took us along the coast and then into the mountains (thank God for the assist bike!), through farm lands and unspoiled spaces. Ended our bike trip with a ride through the Abbeyside, an upscale neighborhood overlooking the town, with an Abbey that sits right on the water. Peaceful. Strolled through the headstones (Jen and Kelly experienced that when we were all together - cemeteries are so interesting).
      The foods festival finishes up today. We strolled through the square and Larry found the seafood paella he was looking for - it was tasty, not the best he has had, but good.
      Running out of clothes, so laundry is definitely on the schedule for tomorrow. Heading to Kinsale on the south coast and Ardmore, which is supposed to have one of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland. Sun was in and out today, tomorrow is supposed to be more sun! Yeah!!      Read more

      Dungarvan to Clonakilty

      July 13, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      Our first stop was in Ardmore where St. Declan founded the monastery at Ardmore (Aird Mhór in Irish, meaning "Great Height") prior to the arrival of St. Patrick in Ireland. Ardmore is believed to be one of the oldest monasteries in Ireland.

      The round tower at Ardmore may be of 12th century origin, but could have been built as early as the 10th century.

      Inside the Monastery ruins were two Ogham Stones which had the markings from a medieval alphabet to form a message - before the Roman alphabet was introduced. 😮

      We had Lunch in Kinsale, which is a very cute harbor town, then stopped at a 13th Century Timoleague Friary and explored all of the ruins.

      Finally, we visited Drombeg Stone Circle. It is a circle of 17 standing stones which on excavation showed that there had been an urn burial in the center. It has been dated to between 153BC and 127AD. 😮😮

      We ended our day/night listening to an Irish man from Cork tell stories and sing in a tiny bar next to our hotel - O’Donovan’s in Clonakilty.

      Interesting Fact I learned today: I obviously cannot smell as well as I thought. Everyone, but me, could detect a weird smell from our water glasses at lunch. 🤷‍♀️ I’m going to blame having COVID earlier this summer.      Read more

      naß bis auf die Haut

      June 5, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      aufgrund des Wetterberichtes, der für den ganzen Tag Regen angekündigt hat, gegen 9.30 aus dem B&B in Kinsale los, den WAW hinter mir lassend.....es gab grad nur Sprühtropfen ....nach ca. 10, 15 min. fing der Starkregen an - um zur kleinen Fähre über den River Barrow in Ballyhack zu kommen, lotste mich mein Navi über Single-Tracks in abgelegenen Gegenden, die nur mäßige Geschwindigkeit zuließen. Helmvisir zu: siehste nix, wegen Regen auf dem Visir - Visir auf: Tropfen auf der Brille, der Regen peitscht ins Gesicht ....nach ca. 30 min. dann etwas breitere Straßen. Aber der Regen ist längst von den Jackenärmel in die Handschuhstulpen gelaufen - nasse Hände und Finger ... nun gut: es gibt ne Griffheizung, wenigstens etwas.
      Von der Hose drückte der Regen unter die Jacke ....Bauch, Beine, Po: naß.
      Dazu der Fahrtwind und 12° Temperatur .....man bibbert so vor sich hin .....
      Je näher ich nach ca. 1,5 Std. Tramore kam, ließe der Regen nach und der Fahrtwind konnte beginnen, die Jacke von außen zu tocknen (zum Glück haben Jacke, Hose, Stiefel, und eigentlich auch die Handschuhe ne Regenmembran - aber was heißt das schon, bei diesen Verhältnissen.)
      In der Unterkunft in Tramore erstmal Klamotten aus und zum Trocknen auf diverse Bügel, die Handschuhe ausgestopft - und dann endlich ne heiße Dusche......      Read more

      hier hatte ich kurzfristig während der Reise ne Unterkunft "hinverlegt" ohne zu wissen, daß es gute Unterkünfte auch in doofen Orten geben kann: wer Brighton in England kennt - hier isses auch so, nur kleiner ....kurz geschaut, gut gegessen, lecker Cappuccino und nun im Zimmer, ausspannen, aufwärmen und ggf. Jacke oder Hose oder oder trockenfönen .....Read more

      Tramore

      July 10, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 64 °F

      Vera drove us to this cute town to get some ice cream. This town is where the Irish go on holiday. It reminded Cory and I of Seaside. We had the best donuts and ice cream. Yum! The sea was really rough today. Vera said normally it looks like glass. The Irish are big time ocean swimmers. Their water is the same temperature as ours. Burrr!
      But most mornings you will see gaggles of Irish taking a dip to feel "rejuvenated"      Read more

      Waterford

      September 4, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      Waterford, a seaport in southeast Ireland, is the country’s oldest city. It was founded by Vikings in 914 A.D. and parts of its ancient walled core remain. Within Reginald’s Tower, a circa-1003 fortification, the Waterford Museum of Treasures displays local archaeological finds. Famed glass manufacturer Waterford Crystal began here in 1783. Today the company’s facility near the historic district offers factory tours.Read more

      Annetown

      March 12 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

      Der Weg nach Cork zeigte uns das wahre Irland, so wie man es sich vorgestellt hat. Rechts und links waren Kühe und Schafe, welche auf den saftigen Wiesen grasten. Durch Zufall entdeckten wir eine Steilküste mit hohen Wellen, Regen und starken Wind. Fasziniert von dem Wetter stiegen wir aus und beobachteten die Wellen, wie sie über die Steine zusammen brachen.Read more

      Newport, Wales to Waterford, Ireland

      August 6, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      Little sleep in this morning as we didn’t need to board the bus until 9.30am.

      We made our way to the Port of Fishguard where we drove onto the Ferry whilst on the bus then when parked we got off the bus and caught the lift up to the decks. The bloody lifts only took a maximum of 11 people at a time - even less if you were a bit overweight then it probably only took about 8 as the lift would not move if overloaded and an alarm would sound. Clarke had to go up without me as there were too many in the lift - he then sent me a message to tell me what deck he was on so I wouldn’t lose him 😂😂

      You can imagine how long it took for all those people going up to the decks. Then we had to do the same coming back - everyone pushing and shoving thinking they were gonna miss getting off the ferry.

      After 3 1/2 hours on the Ferry we boarded the bus again and made our way to our hotel in Waterford, Ireland.

      The countryside here is beautiful and the Irish are very friendly. Wonder if I’ll see Mrs Brown!

      It’s 7pm at night here and still daylight. We are about to go for dinner at the Hotel as part of our trip.

      I have posted some photos of our day.      Read more

      Time to get the bikes out one last time on Ireland's longest off-road route including several viaducts and a long, dark, dripping cold water down your back, scary tunnel which was sooooooo long. Seriously dark inside too - The Ballyvoyle tunnel.Read more
